Activities in Serengeti Tanzania

Game Drives:

• The most common safari activity, game drives are usually done in the early morning or late afternoon when animals are most active. Visitors can spot the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) along with other wildlife such as cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, and giraffes

Hot Air Balloon Safaris:

• This unique experience offers a bird's-eye view of the Serengeti at sunrise. Floating above the plains, you can observe wildlife from a different perspective, followed by a traditional champagne breakfast in the bush

Guided Walking Safaris:

• Accompanied by armed guides, walking safaris allow you to explore the Serengeti on foot. This activity offers a closer connection to the environment and an opportunity to learn about the smaller flora and fauna, as well as tracking techniques

Cultural Visits:

• Visitors can engage with the local Maasai communities, learning about their traditions, culture, and way of life. This experience often includes visits to traditional villages (bomas), schools, and markets

Bird Watching:

• With over 500 bird species, the Serengeti is a paradise for bird watchers. Species such as the kori bustard, secretary bird, and various vultures can be observed, especially in the riverine forests and wetlands

Night Game Drives:

• Although not as common as daytime drives, some areas of the Serengeti allow night game drives. This activity provides a chance to see nocturnal animals like hyenas, leopards, and genets in action

Great Migration Viewing:

• Depending on the time of year, visitors can witness the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in search of fresh grazing. The most dramatic moments include river crossings, especially at the Mara River, where crocodiles lie in wait.

Photography Safaris

• Specialized photography safaris cater to both amateur and professional photographers, offering opportunities to capture stunning images of wildlife and landscapes, often with guidance from experienced photographers

Bush Meals:

• Enjoying a meal in the heart of the Serengeti, surrounded by nature, is an unforgettable experience. These meals are often set up at scenic spots, offering both privacy and a close connection to the wilderness

Camping Safaris:

• For those seeking a more immersive experience, camping in the Serengeti allows you to sleep under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush. There are both luxury tented camps and more rustic options available.
